I saw these on ebay and thought which frame you guys would buy? I like all 3 of them, but still which one would best with the carbon grey TSX?

ortiz

I like this one. But I don't know if they are genuine Acura parts

Dan Martin

They aren't from Acura. I've got the TSX one and it is good quality. It looks a hell of a lot better than the dealer's frames.

Mokos23

thanks, from your sig, i think you got the chrome TSX one right?
where did you buy yours Dan, from ebay?

NeoChaser

the first one looks nice i like it

Dan Martin

Yep, chrome and yes to ebay too.

ortiz

I have a chrome one too. Only is says "RAIDERS".

Mokos23

too bad Acura doesn't sell those gold plated frames that i see on some lexus cars, you know it's a gold plated frame that says "Lexus" in big letters. looks pimp like that.

i've also seen Infiniti, BMW, and Mercedes chrome plates.

Dan Martin

The same guy makes frames for all makes and models.

Those are vinyl decals (not etched or engraved) on a Chrome/Black license plate frame. I bought a chrome license plate and added my own vinyl decal on to it.

Trust me I make vinyl decals for my friends license plates all the time.

I'll take a picture of my license plate frame tonight and post it.. it's chrome with a black ACURA logo which happens to be on CG TSX.

If you take a look at this thread below, this is what I have made for the interior of the TSX and it is all a matter of just taking those decals and placing them on the license plate frame:

Here's another example of my vinyl. See the white TSX logo on the black license plate (not on the chrome frame), I made that for vwong

that looks pimp man

i was wondering if a gold/brass license frame would look nice on a TSX? Carbon grey is a darker color than silver, so i thought i would put a gold license frame on it instead.

ortiz

I don't think it would look good. Only because all of the emblems are chrome (plastic).

dabuda

i like the 2nd one...da chrome

bheywow

I've got two of these from the dude on ebay

They started rusting after a few months and now are sitting in a bookshelf with old computer books.

The tsx letters are cut pieces of very super thin (allmost like foil) alluminum


Good luck, I hope yours is better than mine

Mokos23

what a ripoff, guess not. did this happen to you also Dan?

so bheywow, did u buy new frames or whats on the TSX now?

bheywow

no frames at all

ortiz

I have had mine since Jan 01 and it is fine.

Creaminz

I saw those license plates in Acura Dealer

Dan Martin

I've only had it for a month but no rust at all. Maybe it was a bad plating job on bheywow's frames.

Mokos23

well i went to murrays auto and bought a smoke license plate cover/chrome frame combo license frame kit.

i think that will look nice with the TSX?

I went to Pep boys and saw a chrome license plate with an Acura logo on it, I think that goes to the front plate. Wish Acura sold a chrom frame with just their Acura logo or the name Acura on it (not the dealer kinds).
